To n/ZZ whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, Drinnen H. WEHAGEN,

citizen of the United States, residingiat llioone by one, and with cach cigar to deliver a `match. Speaking generally, it embodies a casing having a delivery-opening and a rotary carrier mounted within the casing and having means to carry the cigars and matches so that they successively register with the delivery-opening and drop by gravity therethrough. The carrying devices are arranged around the periphery of a rotary drinn, and the delivery-opening is located thereunder'7 so that the articles will drop through the Opening as they are successively brouglitf thereover.

The invention is illustrated in the accoinpanying drawings, in Which-M Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the rotary drinn and its support renovcd from the casing. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail in perspecv tive of the carriers and delivery-opening. Fig. 4 is a detail of the casing with the cover removed. Fig. 5 is a detail in section.

Referring spccilically to the drawings, in-

dicates a casing conveniently iradc of wood and rovided with a top 7, liaving a central circ-u ar recess around which is a raised ri n 8, which constitutes a track on which the goods to he vended are supported. This track has therein a deliwry-o])ching` l), which extends through the top of the casing and communicates by a suitable chute l() with a delivery-cup 11, from which the goods may be taken by the vendee.

The casing 6 also serves to support a coin-controlled meclianism, (indicated as awholc at 12,) which needs no further description than tolsay it includes a crank 13, which has a motion limited hv stops 14 and which by suitable coin-operated devices is operativelyr connected to a shalt 15, which carries a inion 16, meshing with a rack 17 on the un er side of the riin of the drum 18, and by means of the crank and the coin-operated devices the drui'n is turned step by step to deliver the goods. v

'ille druin 1.8 is niounied to rotate on a spindle 19 upon a base 2() within the casing, and said drum projects through the circular recess in thc top 7 ol thc casing, and above said top the drinn is provided iviih upper and loner peripheral llanges 21 and 22, which project out over the delivery-outlet U. Said rlanges have therein a series oi holes L2? and also a series of small tubes 24, arranged vertically with their louer ends a short space above the riin 8. 'l he openings and the tubes are conveniently arrangid` in allernation, although they may be located beside eachother, if desired. For the use stated that is, to vend cigarsw-the holes 25 are of proper size to loosely hold a cigar therein, and the tubes 2--1 are of proper size lo hold a match loosely. 'l he parts are so proportioned that n hen the drinn is turned in the manner referred to one ot' the tubes 24 and holes 23 uill be brought to position directlyl above the opening 9, and the match and cigar contained therein n ill drop from said opening and 'thence to the deli\i'erycup. '1 he cigars and matches rest upon the rini S and are carried along the same until the opening is reached. 'lhis gives a certainty and simplicity of operation nhich are distinguishing features oilhe machine.

The carrier is inclosed by a glass cover 25, which is secured to thc top of the casing by means of clips 26 engaging over the rim 27 of the covcr, the clips being fastened on the undcr side, so that they cannot be successfully tampered with.. A door JS allons access to the casing. '.lhc fastening for fach of the clips may consist oll a ilninili-scrciv 29, inserted upwardly through a hole in the top of thc casing into ihe clip. 'l his allo s ihc clip to bc quickly loosened vhen it is desired to remove the glass cover for the purpose of rcilling the machine. r[he glass cover allons it to be seen lnn the machine is omply and also exposes the dcliii'ciy-iipcning, so that any apprehension or uncertainty ith respcct to the operation of the machine uith- "out injury to the cigar is quieted.

l claim-wl. ln a delivery-mibinet, in combination, u. casing having a delivery-opeuing therein, and a rotatable carrier on the casing com- )rising a circular drum having upper and lower projecting Ilanges at the periphery thereof provided with a series ol holes and IOSy IIO
